"Mr President, the twisted war mentality that the US administration has developed is extremely serious and warrants the increasing opposition of world public opinion. As emphasised by the representatives of many countries at the world parliamentary forum in Porto Alegre, we must call on our leaders to firmly oppose the war and reject the concept of preventive war contained in the new strategic doctrine of the Bush administration. The institutions of the European Union, and the governments of the Member States and candidate countries must reject all and any participation in the war against Iraq, including the use of military bases and other facilities on their territory, and reject any participation of soldiers or the provision of military and financial resources, without this implying any support for the Iraqi regime. We must also ensure that the embargo on Iraq is ended, an embargo that has caused so much harm to the population, particularly to children. What is particularly important are all actions demonstrating solidarity with the Iraqi people, such as visits to Iraq by delegations of Members of the European Parliament and the public demonstrations against the war and to defend peace planned for 15 February. We must reject this unjust war, which is clearly a statement of the United States’ hegemony, essentially dictated by oil interests and American and British military and industrial complexes. Opposition to the war in Iraq is equally crucial in order to put an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and to the aggression by Ariel Sharon’s government and to attempt to achieve, by means of dialogue, a fair and lasting peace. Our citizens want peace, so let us all work to make this possible, repeatedly expressing our protests, indignation and rejection with regard to the imminence of a new war against Iraq."@en1
